Duck Egg Threads ~ Giveaway! 💙

I am thrilled to welcome Duck Egg Threads as a new sponsor! Duck Egg Threads was born from the love of Liberty prints but not wanting (or needing) to buy large pieces of this expensive and luxurious fabric for quilting projects. The shop has come a long way from selling a small range of Liberty Tana Lawn fat eighths at launch to growing into being the go-to online shop for a large range of Liberty cuts, Art gallery fabrics’ Pure Elements solids (they stock one of the largest ranges in the UK), patchwork notions and the hugely successful We Love Liberty Monthly Club. Take a look and have a browse – you’re sure to be tempted to add to your stash!

My weakness for Liberty fabric is strong and, while I would buy bolts of tana lawn if my purse allowed, I appreciate being able to get smaller pieces in a much wider variety of prints. I have a growing collection and even the tiniest scraps get used in epp or hand piecing projects.

Duck Egg Threads have beautifully displayed all the Liberty prints on their website. It is easy to navigate by colour, collection and style. The hardest part is choosing between which ones to buy, though you can easily get all your favourites since the prices start from just £1.38!

It's wonderful that this really makes the fabric affordable and it allows you to add pieces in to many more of your projects - if you've never tried working with Tana Lawn I really encourage you to. It feels incredible, the quality is outstanding and the patterns are truly even more beautiful in real life. Liberty is a life long love affair for me. Starting with my Grandmother's scarves and all those classic patterns. So rich, comforting and joyful. I know many people have favourite prints associated with their own memories and stories.

Whether you wish to add to your collection or start growing a Liberty stash the We Love Liberty Monthly Club is a perfect way to do that! Purchase a subscription and every month for the next six months you will receive a carefully curated bundle of 8 Liberty Tana Lawn pieces of fabric, each month’s selection will be carefully chosen to coordinate with each other. A mixture of Classic, Seasonal and New Season prints, the club offers you the chance to grow your Liberty Tana Lawn stash month by month, and all for a discounted price compared to buying the 8 prints individually through the shop. You chose whether to get either 16ths, 8ths or FQs and then enjoy happy mail each month! For further details and to sign up CLICK HERE.

And it doesn't stop there! Duck Eggs Threads also stock Pure Elements, which work particularly well paired with Tana Lawn; as well as a great selection of sewing notions, including my favourites Aurifil thread, glue refills, Clover needles and TimblePad. It always helps when you can buy fabric you love along with the useful bits you need!

They offer flat rate shipping of £2.75 in the UK and very reasonable worldwide postage rates. Sarah has outstanding service and you can always contact her via the website if you have any queries. A passionate quilter herself, she understands her customers needs and I encourage you all to support small business, delight in the beautiful fabrics and visit Duck Egg Threads.

Well . Where do I begin? My parents met in London and loved going to walk round liberty . In turn my father used to take me , and I loved the haberdashery and in turn I took my children . I look forward to taking my grandson too !

I was very young when my Auntie first took me to visit Liberty and I fell in love with the building: in particular the staircase and the soap dispenser in the ladies toilet. More than fifty years on, in May this year, I was given my first sewing machine (my 60th) and I bought my first Liberty fabric, from Duck Egg as it happens, and I rather miraculously managed to sew together 36 little squares. I have been a part of the monthly club and will be renewing in November. By the way I enjoy reading your Blog and learn lots watching SQ. Alison

I love Liberty and my addiction started just over a year ago when I bought lots of small pieces of Liberty from Duck Egg Threads. It was so nice to be able to pick so many pieces in an affordable way. Over a year later and I'm still sewing with Liberty ����

I've always loved Liberty, when I worked on Oxford Street in my twenties I used to visit to lust over the fabrics. Ive now got a sizable collection of small pieces thanks in part to the lovely fabrics at Duck Egg Threads!

I love lots of the patterns but have a really soft spot for Capel. I already follow duckeggthreAds on Instagram (where I heard about this giveaway) and receive the newsletter. I'll share as much as I can on Facebook, Insta and Twitter.

signed up for the newsletter. I can not remember a time where I didn't wear Liberty, in the 80's they used to have their fabircs in skirt lengths with sheering to make a waist - loved those as it meant as a young teen I could make my own skirts really quickly. I once bought an evening dress sheered version for a party (very 80's) and it went on for years, my daughter used to play dressing up in it! My favorite print is Rosa.

I can't say my favorite print, so I'll share how I have the scraps I have now. One IG friend kindly sent me charms and partial charms, I won a partial-charm scrap giveaway on IG, and I was in the right place at the right time for a grab bag of scraps at a lost-our-lease sale. Lucky me! I am in the middle of actually USING them right now to piece a quilt top, so I would love to be able to supplement my scraps with a few pieces that I don't have. Thanks!!

My favourite Liberty print is probably Mirabelle but it’s very hard to choose as I love them all for different reasons. My love affair with Liberty fabric began in 1979 when, working near Oxford Circus I would visit Liberty every lunchtime usually heading straight for the shelves full of the most beautiful fabric. I was then lucky enough to work there for a short time which further deepened my passion for all things Liberty. When I first started sewing and EPP in 1982 my first choice of fabric was Liberty Tana Lawn and my love affair continues. I’m still loving, collecting, stroking and sewing Liberty Tana Lawn.

You know, my Gram had a blouse that could have been a Liberty floral, and every time I use that delightful blue print, I think of her and her garden. Otherwise, I love the delicately linear print called McLeod B, in pink.
